CINCINNATI, July 1, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- ProMach, a worldwide leader in processing and
packaging solutions, continues their ongoing investment in the
European market with the recent expansion of Zalkin's capping and
cap handling equipment manufacturing facility. Located in Montreuil
L'Argillé, France, this expansion
adds 100,000 square feet to Zalkin's existing 160,000 square-foot
facility to increase production capacity, reduce lead time, and
further accelerate company growth. The expansion was dedicated on
June 21 with members of ProMach's
Executive Leadership Team in attendance.
"ProMach's strategic investments in the
European market are a key component of our business that continues
to expand year over year," says Mark
Anderson, President and CEO of ProMach.
Zalkin, a ProMach product brand and international leader in the
global packaging industry, is known for both their cap application,
handling, and quality control technology. The company offers
'best-in-class' capping solutions with speeds ranging from 800 to
100,000 caps per hour. Supporting both small local European
businesses to global leaders in various industries – non-alcoholic
beverages, wines and spirits, dairy products, food processing,
cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and household products –
Zalkin had consolidated global sales of more than $110 million in 2023 while exporting 80% of its
equipment to customers in over 120 countries.
ProMach continues to invest heavily in the European packaging
market. This facility expansion is the latest in a string of
investments, including the acquisition of numerous European
companies in both Spain and
Italy within the past three years.
Most recently, the company acquired Zacmi, headquartered in
Parma, Italy. Zacmi is a global leader and
manufacturer of can fillers for pet food, fruits, and
vegetables.
"ProMach's strategic investments in the European market are a
key component of our business that continues to expand year over
year," says Mark Anderson, President
and CEO of ProMach. "Whether through acquisition or reinvesting in
our existing high-performing brands like Zalkin, our European
capabilities continue to grow to support our position as a complete
worldwide packaging solution provider," adds Anderson.
Zalkin, founded in 1932 and acquired by ProMach in 2014, employs
over 460 people, 400 of whom are located in France. "Zalkin benefits from the exceptional
support of ProMach — not only financially, but also through
technological and commercial synergies that complement the support
from our internal stakeholders," says Laurent Fournier, VP and General Manager of
Zalkin. "Our ability to expand our production footprint while
continuing to provide exceptional capping solutions to our
customers reinforces ProMach's broader commitment to the European
market."
In addition to expanding production space within the facility,
Zalkin is opening a new customer showroom that will support
enhanced customer visits, equipment training, and recruiting
opportunities for the business. Fournier continues, "We welcome
customers from around the world each week, here in the heart of
Normandy, to collaborate and develop solutions that will help them
maintain their market leadership. Having a dedicated space for
those discussions and an enhanced ability to educate and train
customers on their equipment was important to underscore the
importance of our commitment to serve them well and maintain a
valuable, long-standing partnership."
